Stephen Gilchrist was out on tour with the Lightning Seeds in early 2011 when, after using a Mapex kit supplied by the tour agent, was soon converted to the Saturn series shells, much to our delight! We spoke to Stephen soon after and equipped him with a custom touring set consisting of Saturn shells, Black Panther snare and Mapex hardware.

Heavy touring with Graham Coxon has taken up much of Stephen's schedule of late but he is also incredibly involved in education, running his own week long music course called 'Summer Rocks' which caters for students aged 14-19 and run with tutors who are all active in the professional music world offering first hand career tips and advice.

Stephen has toured and recorded with Charlotte Hatherley, Cardiacs & Cathy Davey. He also writes and records under the name stuffy with his band stuffy/the fuses. stuffy/the fuses second album, Angels Are Ace, was recorded by Steve Albini.
